Property Description
Tucked along a quiet ridgeline in Sweetwater, this 16+ acre wooded property offers the kind of peaceful setting that's getting harder to find. Tall trees, gentle elevation, and a sense of calm make it an inviting place to slow down, breathe, and picture the home or retreat you've always wanted. Despite the privacy, you're still under five minutes from I-75, giving you quick access to Knoxville, Chattanooga, and into the mountains. The land already has utilities in place at the front of the property with an older homestead, along with an RV electrical hookup, so you can stay on-site while you build or settle in for long weekends as you plan your next steps. The natural layout of the property provides several potential building spots nestled in the woods, each offering its own feel and level of seclusion. Another meaningful benefit is the Greenbelt status, keeping taxes impressively low under $250/year, making long-term ownership affordable no matter how long your dream of building takes. Sweetwater's charm comes from its small-town friendliness and its easy connection to outdoor recreation. From your homebase near Cherokee National Forest find yourself hiking, paddling, and exploring year-round. It's an area where a love of nature fits right into everyday life. Come start your life at this inviting place to build, unwind, and enjoy the best of East Tennessee.
